Today I'm providing 2 pictures, who would have thought?After saying "The ficus needs a new pot and fresh soil." at least once a week for ca. 1,5 years (as my mother so nastily brought to my attention) I finally bought a new pot (a terracotta pot, the poor thing had to live in plastic before) and fresh soil. Before I moved it into its new pot I had to cut it down quite drastically as it had grown way too high and spindly twigs. I had to endure the sight of two wooden sticks in a pot for some weeks and was afraid that I might had cut a bit too enthusiastically. But look! It's coming! Fresh green and healthy leaves. I hope there will be more to come, because I just hate losing plants, it makes me sad.

Sorry for the delay, the past days were stressful - both mentally and physically. An unusually strong migraine hit me and today my head still feels numb with a dull pain. But without further ado I give you a picture of Kürbis (left), Fiona (right) and Luna (in the front). It somehow looks as if they had gathered to chat about something, or to even plan something evil!

Those are two of my current WIPs which have slumbered in hibernation for a while. I really should finish them before casting on anything new, especially because I want to wear them this summer. (It's not the best picture, I know.)

Hi! Again it's been a ridiculously long while and I won't even try to apologize... I don't know what it is, I like blogging, I like to read blogs (and I actually read a lot of blogs and should probably comment more) but somehow I can't get into the whole business of actually blogging frequently or at least once a week. But I really, really want to! So I am going to take a leaf out of many bloggers' books and try to get into a blogging-habit by posting one picture a day for a couple of days / weeks. I don't know if it's supposed to be a picture that was taken on the actual day, but I will start by showing any picture that takes my fancy. I just need a blogging-routine for now.

So here goes: A picture I took last summer of a cute little guy that crossed our path when we went for a hike. He looked extremely busy and scuttled across the way in a very fast and determined fashion. I'm not that much into insects, they mostly creep me out or I find them gross (but not so much that I would kill them, I just trap them somehow and bring them outside), but they are quite interesting and fun to watch as long as they aren't exactly on me =) And I have to say I adore the little pearls that his antlers are made of and how shiny he is. He actually looks so perfectly flawless that he looks kind of artificial. You know what? I give you two pictures today! Enjoy or writhe with disgust, whatever you like ^^ (Please click on the pics to see them larger and in fantastic detail)
